Fragrance allergens › Citrus Limon Peel Oil
Citrus Limon Peel Oil (CAS 8008-56-8) is one of the fragrance allergens the European Union requires to be named on a label once it passes a threshold. It is rarely something you added on purpose: 1 material in this catalog carries it as a constituent, which is how a formula ends up over the line without a single line item admitting to it.

Bright, sharp, juicy-fresh lemon peel with a zesty, slightly aldehydic sparkle. Used for instant freshness in top notes of colognes, chypres and functional perfumery; fades quickly so it is often paired with citral or Lemonile for persistence. FCF grade: bergapten/furocoumarins removed for photo-safety; the scent profile is essentially the same, marginally less full in the deep facets.
It is a material in its own right, not only a line on a label: its catalog page carries the full profile.
Capped because it is phototoxic: it reacts with sunlight on skin, so this ceiling is about sun exposure rather than sensitisation. IFRA's Guidance, chapter 1, covers how the limit is applied.
3 of the 4 carriers in this catalog are naturals and 1 is synthetic. The heaviest carrier that is not the molecule itself is Pineapple Natpop, at about 1.8%.

Estimates from typical published compositions, not a certificate of analysis for your bottle. A supplier's own figures always win.
PerfuMate totals these across a whole formula while you compose, counting the same molecule arriving from several materials at once, and writes the declaration for the back of the bottle. Start a formula, free. No account needed.
